[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All Americans - liberal, conservative, and apolitical - should be very concerned about the future of college given how Trump & Vance are attacking it. It is arson with no architecture. They don't have a vision for fixing it, they just want it to die.[/quote]

I am paying careful attention and am very happy with the changes. These are much needed.

The people who are unhappy are those who are content to receive funds without needing to demonstrate any results.

Now the fun part - the supposed liberals who are "open" to new ideas and alternative viewpoints, think none of the above is an "acceptable" viewpoint. Because the above must have been written by a MAGA advocate and therefore not a valid view.

My kid is a PhD student whose grant was frozen.  The grant was for specific research in their lab.  They would need to demonstrate results.  I’m not sure what you mean by not demonstrating results?  Can you elaborate?

I am genuinely interested in your viewpoint.  I do want to say, though, that if results are your concern, there would be ways to enforce that other than burning the whole system down.  I cannot express to you how much this Administration’s actions are destroying America. Scientific research.  My kid is researching in an area that this administration should favor, so I can only imagine what it is like for non-favored areas.[/quote]
